Chris Quinn: Gen Con Indy 2007 draws nigh

From August 16-19 the premier gaming event in the world goes down, so I am putting out a call to those of you attending Gen Con next week.

Let us know how your Con went and we will post those missives here on Geek Speak. Anything new or cool you experience at the Con, e-mail it to me at cquinn@express-news.net and up it goes.

From the food, to the games you saw played, to the composition of the winning teams, whatever, drop us a line let us know and we will post your reports for the SA gaming community to read.

And if you have the means to e-mail digital pics, send us those as well. Whether it be of you at the Con or someone in the midst of CosPlay frivolity.

Why are we doing this you ask? Because we are lazy? Maybe. But mostly because we are stuck here and cannot attend. And there are many local gamers also unable to attend.

So we will rely on you, our brother and sister gamers going to Indy to loop us in and bring the Con to us.

Because this is Gen Con. The granddaddy gaming Con of them all. Held every year in Indianapolis, the convention is the longest running gaming convention in the world. It is the Mecca for tabletop gamers. There will be dozens of vendors, thousands of fans, contests and tons of games to preview, demo and play.

Madness and chaos and saving throws galore.

Don’t leave the rest of us with our fingers up our noses wondering … huh?
